As I write this, I am in Japan. My trip started with leaving the UK on 23rd to Judge the Indonesia Koi Show. After that, I flew to Japan via Singapore.So far, the trip has been a great success!

For those of you that bought Tosai last year, please remember that all are eligible to compete in our Tategoi Challenge. Competition is stiff however, with many of last years koi now becoming fantastic Nisai, some of them now some 68cm! (that's not a typing error). Also, all of the Tosai we are now selling can compete in our next Tategoi Challenge, which is split into two classes of 'Up to £700' and 'Unlimited'. The prizes for the winners of the two classes are a free koi of your choice of up to the original purchase price (£700 max) and for the 'Unlimited' class, a koi of up to original purchase price (or £2000 max). Please send in photos of koi you purchased last year in order that they can be judged.

Many thanks, Mike.
